The livers in post-Fontan adults show a unique morphology of blunt edge and lobulating surface with occasional nodularity. There is a diagnostic challenge in distinguishing HCCs from FNH-like nodules in post-Fontan population due to overlapping imaging findings. Suprahepatic IVC diameter is a potentially useful imaging marker that reflects hepatic dysfunction in Fontan palliation.
